Parking brake beeping at me
Discussion
Hi all,
Sorry if this topic exists elsewhere, search function is down.
Car: C-Klass Estate, late 2004 (facelift)150.000 KMs (nearly 100 000 miles)
Problem symptoms:
Parking brake beeps at me. I can cancel the beeping from steering wheel. Warning light stays on. Need to pull pedal back with my foot. That used to work fine, but not anymore. Pedal drops a bit on its own. The slightest bump on the road sets it off again.
Note: I do need to push the pedal quite far for the brake to hold the car.
Already done:
I opened the hatch under the rear seats, cleaned everything, WD-40'd the cables. Wasn't particularly dirty anyway.
Didn't see any adjustment. All I saw was a big bolt, doesn't move.
Went under the dash (swore a lot), checked & relocated the switch. Switch barely touches the pedal when pedal all the way up (normal?).
Looks as if the pedal come up a bit'weakly'though. The slightest touch to the pedal sets of the warning. Less than 1mm movement triggers it.
Isn't it supposed to adjust automatically?
AQny help would be welcome, thx
